Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion Fertilization of bryophytes require water for antherozoids. They are amphibians of plant kingdom. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion. Gametangia (gamete-producing organs), archegonia and antheridia, are produced on the gametophytes, sometimes at the tips of shoots, in the axils of leaves or hidden under thalli. Some bryophytes create elaborate structures that bear gametangia called as gametangia phores. Sperm are flagellated and must swim from antheridia and archegonia. Arthropods may assist in transfer of sperm. Fertilized eggs become zygotes, which develop into sporophyte embryos inside the archegonia.
